Despite significant growth over the past decade, the cryosphere community, like the broader geosciences, has failed to diversify. To address this lack of diversity in cryosphere sciences, this effort offers an intervention designed to foster a more inclusive community with shared values, norms, and a sense of belonging that can serve as both support and refugium for marginalized scholars and allies within the cryosphere community. Because the impacts of climate change, including sea-level rise, are acutely felt at the community level with the most vulnerable either not consulted or excluded from key decisions, the lack of diversity limits our ability to build a workforce of future educators and researchers necessary to address local to global challenges of climate change. This project is aimed directly at workforce development to ensure the cryosphere community is able to meet current and forthcoming challenges.The overarching project goal is to provide structural support for an inclusive cryosphere community that is supportive of marginalized scholars at all career stages and better positioned to facilitate inter-and-multidisciplinary research needed to advance the cryosphere sciences. To do this, virtual networks of cryosphere science scholars will be created, referred to as Virtual Ice Community Engagement Squads. These Squads will be organized around topics of interest to the community or by geographic region with the aim of supporting and fostering collaboration between scholars. The Squads will be key nodes in supporting a more cohesive cryosphere community through objectives that include 1) establishing community norms and articulating evidence-based DEI best practices, 2) providing professional development and inclusive leadership training to scholars across career stages, and 3) developing a resource hub for the cryosphere community.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

尽管在过去的十年中，冰圈社区（如更广泛的地球科学）仍未实现多样化。为了解决这种缺乏冰冷科学的多样性，这项努力提供了一种干预措施，旨在培养一个具有共同价值，规范和归属感的更具包容性的社区，可以作为Cryosphere社区中边缘化学者和盟友的支持和庇护。 由于气候变化的影响，包括海平面上升，在社区层面上敏锐地感受到了最脆弱的人，既没有咨询或从关键决策中排除，因此缺乏多样性限制了我们建立未来教育者和研究人员的劳动力的能力，以应对当地应对全球气候变化挑战所必需的劳动力。该项目直接针对劳动力发展，以确保Cryosphere社区能够应对当前和即将面临的挑战。总体项目的目标是为包容性的冰裂圈社区提供结构性支持，该社区支持在所有职业阶段支持边缘化学者，并更好地定位，以便促进Inter-Multidibaldioldiardibary Research需要促进Gryosphere cryosphere osspherospheresciences。 为此，将创建Cryosphere Science学者的虚拟网络，称为虚拟ICE社区参与小队。这些小队将围绕社区感兴趣的主题或地理区域组织，以支持和促进学者之间的合作。这些小队将通过包括1）建立社区规范和表达基于循证的DEI最佳实践的目标来支持更具凝聚力的冰层社区的关键节点，2）2）为跨职业阶段提供专业发展和包容性的领导力培训，以及3）3）通过促成nsf的Infortial de eyt of nsf的奖励，以表现出NSF的基础奖励，并以此为基础。更广泛的影响审查标准。
